to talk about that Virginia Tech tragedy. What a wastage of life?
One of the most unfortunate events that should have never, ever happened.
There is already so much pain in everyone's life with things like tsunami, earthquakes, accidents.
We really don't need stuff like this. Can't humans be just humans anymore????

Summer Camp
Yeah, dhriti has been attending a summer camp for kids conducted in our office premises.
It kind of showed me how things would look once she started attending school
1. She would never want to come back home from school
2. She would always love to play and never learn
3. She would talk non-stop about her school if we ever manage to get her home
4. Every morning is going to be hectic (not that it is any less now!) with getting her ready for school
5. It is going to be tough to decide what she has to wear everyday to school (play-school). Thankfully, schools have uniforms!
But, the best part is I can get to bribe her. All I need to say is "If you do this-this-and-this, that's it, I am not sending you to school anymore!"
And yippieee....my job is made easier :))

'coz today is your birthday!
College days...it's been a while since I've talked about them. Am I getting old..?No way :)When I first joined the college, the classes, the hostel everything was a new experience. But once we went for that "all-famous" picnic in our first year, things changed. We formed a bond for life, friendship . I am still in touch with most of them and today is K's birthday. I haven't been in touch with him since quite long.Definetely my loss! He is a gem of a person, always there for his friends, somebody you can count on ALWAYS.
There were quite a few crazy things we've done together...we sure had great time together, maybe coz we were like-minded, more like a male-female version of the same characteristics. Our bond strengthened when he came to visit my hometown once along with Putchu. We've had our shares of ups and downs, fights, immense affection and all that. I've always admired the way he cared for others, he was never outwardly emotional but it was all there in his heart.I can never forget the unwavering support he gave me during my initial days in Hyd,when I'd newly joined my job here. He was there almost every evening to take me out of that wretched hostel, to cheer me up.The best part of it was the way he "let-go" of me. I mean, I was making new friends, new acquaintances in office. He chose a different career path, our lives drifted apart. It was my mistake all the while in not continuing the same levels of friendship, but he never said a word.
At times his unwavering support makes me guilty, makes me feel as if I've run away from the responsibility of being a true and good friend. But then, that's me.Maybe now is the time, maybe I should pick up the phone today and wish him. Coz today is his birthday.(1 year,1 month, 1 day elder than me!)
Happy Birthday

Hrudayam ekkadunnadi...?
Yeah, I should say she is managing herself quite well...
I really don't know how much of it she understood, does she really understand that we've left KL for good...left all our friends (her friends!) there..Ramu, Pavani, Raji, Bubby, Bublu, Phani mama, Udaya atta, left our life style there (i.e for her sake it's just means we working late, but still going to the mall religiously atleast 4 times a week!!)
But she's somehow adjusted quite well to the lifestyle (yeah I still can't define what it is right now!) here
She played with ammulu and pandu her cousins very well, she now talks to all our relatives, plays with them, converses with them and all that
The first 2 weeks we were here she had a rash and bad cough and cold, which is okay now
In many ways, she adjusted much much better than us, and we were always worried about how she'd be once we came back to India..:)
Let's see what India and staying close to the family has in store for us, for now all seems good and nice and happy!

A new beginning???
Is it always really that painful and time consuming to settle down in a new place...and the new place is none other than "home". I really don't know but ever since we've shifted base to India which is more than 2 weeks now, I've been having a dreadful time.
The kind of effort that goes into setting up a new house from scratch is overwhelming, the options to choose from, the kind of money that gets spent and the hours spent deciding on what to buy are so so so time consuming and yeah don't even get me started on the "place" to find the right things and the traffic while reaching THAT place.
Oh my god...seriously did India change so drastically, it no longer looks like the Hyderabad that I stayed 4 years back. So crowded, so full of people and their vehicles, so noisy, so stylish (this needs a totally separate post!)
I somehow have the feeling that these people are too much into themselves, caught-up with their own work, house and family, no time to spare for others!
Maybe I am little bit on the edge now, need time to settle down and all that, maybe then my way of looking at things will also change and I'll have a better perspective, a better way to go about my life.
But till then....it's a "sulking me" and a "cribbing me" all the way!!
